A container ship passed 27 inspections before losing power and destroying Baltimore's bridge. The speaker argues corners were cut and safety regulations ignored, blaming deregulation pushed by figures like Donald Trump and Candace Owens for prioritizing profit over public safety.
Chapters
I'm wondering what the hell is going on and who's going to get fired, because it seems to me that if the ship went through 27 inspections and still was able to go out and run into this bridge after it had these same issues, it seems as if somebody's cutting corners. As if— it seems as if somebody doesn't care about regulations. You know, people like Trump and Candace Owens that like to you know, ignore regulations so that people can go and make their money. Y'all know that was one of the reasons why Candace told y'all that Trump was such a good option for a president, because her little cousin was trying to get a food truck, and you know, Trump wants to pull back regulations, and y'all think that shit is good until you have ptomaine poisoning. And look at this, you think pulling back regulations is good until a container ship loses power and demolishes a whole damn bridge in Baltimore?
